As cities grow and produce more waste, deciding where all the waste
will go becomes a public health priority. Although many cities have
reserved dumps for waste, the dumps are open. Therefore, converting
these dumps to controlled and sanitary landfills is a critical step for
protecting public health and the environment. This guide serves as a
practical tool for waste managers in middle- and lower-income countries
to make gradual improvements in the short term by upgrading disposal of
wastes at modest cost, while still providing acceptable levels of
environmental protection. In the medium to long term, the target should
be to achieve full sanitary landfilling along with comprehensive
policies and programs to reduce waste generation and increase recycling
when it is economically viable.
